1. The amount of candy that I buy is inversely proportional to the total number of tricker or treaters who come to my door.
2. The desire I have to eat said purchased candy is also inversely proportional to the amount of left over candy.
3. Adults are equally as delighted (and sometimes more so) as kids when a person wearing a costume (in my case, my wedding dress and veil) open the door.
4. Kids these days do not love Pixie Stix nearly as much as I did when I was a youngin'. What is wrong with them? What person under the age of ten does not understand the glories of colored sugar in a convenient paper tube?
5. I should proof-read my posts better. (This is not a Halloween specific lesson, but my post from earlier on this Halloween day is riddled with missing words.)

I relented on my Grinch-like attitude and not only bought a bowlful of candy, but I put out our light-up jack o'lantern and plugged it in. It's now 7 o'clock and we haven't had a single trick-or-treater. That'll teach me.
ReplyDeleteI had to walk around throngs of trick or treaters on my way home at lunch. I didn't push anybody into the street.
ReplyDeletepixie stix still exist? do you remember the giant pixie stix that were like 3 feet long?
ReplyDeleteDamn it! I should've bought those half-price Pixie Sticks at the amusement park on Sunday. I was worried they fall during an upside-down loop on a roller coaster and your armpits were already full of Lifesavers (Suzanne's chosen place to stash her half-price candy inside her jacket).
